Going out as a family for dim sum is an easy and delicious cultural outing. Here&#8217;s our guide to seven of the best places to eat dim sum with the family.<\/p>\n<p>At dim sum, no one cares if you have noisy kids. And the food is practically tailor-made for them: coming in small servings, a bite of this, a bite of that. If you have a picky eater, there\u2019s always rice noodles.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to go out to dim sum? The restaurant business is never easy: when you go out to eat with the family, you support the vitality of our community.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve highlighted where to find top-notch dim sum to try, from the Chinatown-International District (CID) to Bellevue, Renton, near the UW main campus, Shoreline, and back. Remember \u2014 you\u2019re there for the food, not the ambiance, and most of these places are no frills. Note that dim sum hours are typically 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.-ish, after which some restaurants switch to a dinner menu. Your bill will vary, of course, depending on your party\u2019s belly capacity. I included our totals for one foodie mom and two hungry boys to give you a reference point.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/joyaleseattle.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joyale Seafood Restaurant<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday-Friday: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\u00a0 (closed Wednesday), Saturday-Sunday: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>900 S. Jackson St., Seattle<\/li>\n<li>Total (one adult, two hungry kids)*: $51<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Joyale is a unicorn in the CID. Not only does it have free 2-hour parking in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.parkopedia.com\/parking\/garage\/pacific_rim_center_diamond_parking_lot_a633\/98104\/seattle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pacific Rim Center garage<\/a>, but it&#8217;s also one of the last hold-outs with cart service. Most dim sum restaurants pivoted away from carts during the pandemic, but there\u2019s something so nostalgic about the Cantonese aunties wheeling by with goodies. Ordering is effortless. You point to whatever looks good (basically, everything), and then service is lightning-fast and brusque. It\u2019s an old-school model that isn\u2019t for everyone, but I find it refreshing.<\/p>\n<p>When you spot the Asian elders and the big fish tank, you know the food is authentic. I hailed down the vat of congee with century egg \u2014 comfort food at its finest. For dessert, the egg tarts are perfectly flaky, and the mochi is fresh and soft.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88787\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 610px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88787 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seattleschild.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joyale-is-one-of-the-few-places-that-still-does-cart-service.-Photo-credit-JiaYing-Grygiel-e1737753979153.jpg\" alt=\"Woman leans over a rolling metal cart of dim sum, filled with multiple little trays of various items.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"img-info\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joyale is one of the few places that still does cart service.

(The world-famous chain was founded in Taiwan in 1958.) In Spring 2024, Din Tai Fung moved to a new space on the first floor of Lincoln Square. I headed back with my now-teenager: the same to-die-for soup dumplings, but the dining room doubled in size and got a major glow-up. The vibe at Lincoln Square is upscale and luxe. You\u2019ve heard that people vote with their feet? Here, people vote with their stomachs \u2014 the dining room is often mobbed at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t go wrong with the classic Kurobuta pork xiao long bao, or for a bite of decadence, the Kurobuta pork and truffle. Other hits include the shrimp and pork shao mai, vegan dumplings, and cucumber salad. The chocolate and mochi xiao long bao erupted with a sweet surprise, a burst of chocolate lava.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Bellevue, Din Tai Fung <a href=\"https:\/\/dtf.com\/en\/locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expanded<\/a> to the top floor of Seattle\u2019s Pacific Place and the University Village, as well as Tukwila\u2019s Westfield Southcenter.\u00a0 At every location, you can watch the kitchen staff whipping up soup dumplings through a plate-glass window.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88783\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 610px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88783 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seattleschild.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Din-Tai-Fung-in-Lincoln-Square.-You-can-watch-the-kitchen-staff-making-soup-dumplings.-Photo-credit-JiaYing-Grygiel-e1737754127659.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of a dimly lit restauraunt packed with patrons.

There are a few tables, but most of the clientele is here to pick up steaming boxes of fresh dim sum. Dim Sum King has the best prices \u2014 hello, $1.30 barbecue pork bun! \u2014 and the best shrimp rice rolls, hands down, in the Seattle area. We love supporting local businesses, and Dim Sum King is a mom-and-pop shop, literally. Amy Eng is the mom, and she runs the front of house. The dad, Zhen Yong Cai, is the chef. Be prepared to be upsold if you arrive toward the end of the day. I\u2019ll wind up leaving with 30 shrimp dumplings, and I never mind one bit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88781\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 610px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88781 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seattleschild.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dim-Sum-King_s-Amy-Eng.-Photo-credit-Barrie-Silva-Photography-e1737753543747.jpg\" alt=\"Woman behind counter at restaurant holds out plate of fried dim sum items, smiling at camera.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"img-info\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dim Sum King&#8217;s Amy Eng.

Richmond has the best dim sum \u2014 that\u2019s just a fact \u2014 and now you can get it without an international road trip. We left Bellevue\u2019s Sun Sui Wah with bellies full, wallet empty (that Canadian exchange rate sure would have been nice). It\u2019s the kind of place you save for a special occasion, like a birthday or any other excuse you can come up with.<\/p>\n<p>The lines have died down since the grand opening madness, but if you want to skip the wait entirely, parties of six or more can make a reservation. I waited an hour and a half for a table. Not mad at all; I used the time to shop at Asian Family Market and Taiwanese bakery 85 degrees C, both in the same parking lot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88789\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 610px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88789 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seattleschild.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sun-Sui-Wah-in-Bellevue.-Photo-credit-JiaYing-Grygiel-1-e1737753845417.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling child holds out dish with bright orange treats to the camera, at the table of a restaurant.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"img-info\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sun Sui Wah in Bellevue.

Until recently, it didn\u2019t even have a website. It just quietly cranks out dim sum staples really well. No fuss, no muss. The classic menu items, like shao mai and chicken feet, are usually on hand for instant gratification. It\u2019s worth the 10-minute wait, however, for the cilantro shrimp dumplings and chive shrimp dumplings. I always buy extra food to take home for weeknights when I don\u2019t feel like cooking. The sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves and the steamed pork buns both reheat well in a steamer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/triumphvalley.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Triumph Valley Renton<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dim Sum Hours: 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday-Sunday<\/li>\n<li>3750 E.

And now, North End residents rejoice over a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.triumphvalleyshoreline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shoreline location<\/a>. \u00a0Triumph Valley is famous for the crispy shrimp rice roll, at $13.95. The salted egg yolk mochi is intriguing; a yellow puddle trickles out when you bite into it. Beyond these two headliners, try the pan-fried pork, shrimp and chive dumplings, the gigantic shao mai, and the kid-pleasing red bean sesame balls. We thought we\u2019d dodge the weekend crush by dropping in to the Renton location on a weekday. My strategy worked, sort of. No wait for a table, but also the slowest service in the history of dim sum.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88791\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 610px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-88791 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seattleschild.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Triumph-Valley-in-Renton.-Photo-credit-JiaYing-Grygiel-e1737753701522.jpg\" alt=\"Dim sum items like pork buns, dumplings, potstickers, and sesame balls are scattered across a table.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"img-info\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Triumph Valley in Renton.

You won\u2019t be disappointed with anything you order. Our favorites are the savory radish cakes, the pan-fried prawn and chive dumplings and the potstickers.
